I always find it enfuriating, that when there's a discussion about the role of the church in society today and why they lose memebers constantly, what they will discuss is what the church can "offer" people today, how their message can stay "relevant" in the 21st century. The thing that will not come out of any religion editors' mouth ever is that maybe it's because their bullshit simply is not true on a fundamental level, and people realize it. I usually end up screaming at the radio, or the newspaper.
Hmm, maybe it's that the style of the Emperor's shirt sleeves is somewhat oldfashioned that has people turning away. That's probably it!
Well, why isn't banning menstruating women from church relevant today ? At least have the discussion, after all, it was important enough to God to put in the bible. This sweeping the hole issue under the rug as it were, isn't befitting the faith.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
